Chapter 4: I Am A Fighter.
Charlotte's POV
He embarrassed me once more in the presence of a guest. He loves it or perhaps even derives happiness whenever he sees people belittling and looking down on me.
I have never shedded tears in front of anyone, not even my mom, and I refuse to shed tears in front of them.
I bit my lips tightly to avoid the tears from sliding down my cheeks. Furthermore, I opened my room door and walked into it and sank myself on my bed Immediately. Moreover, I buried my head on my bed and began to bawl my eyes out.
It has always been this way, me against the whole world and no single person to support me maybe except for when Julie my childhood friend was still around,she always supported me but now that she's out of the country, I'm all alone.
The clicking of the door made me slowly rub my face on the duvet to avoid anyone from knowing the fact that I was crying. I raised my face up to see my step-sister Rose, walking into my room as though we share the room together.
"Hey Charlotte, are you done training with your warriors, I bet you want to kick the bucket right now." She said perhaps she thought she's joking with me, but frankly I am not in the mood for silly jokes, all I want is for her to get the hell out of my room the same fucking way she came in.
"Charlotte, I would like to have your teddy bear, you know you should give it out even if I didn't ask, you are too old to have a teddy bear." She laughed loudly at her words as she began to hit my teddy bear on the ground.
"Look, Rose, I am no longer controlled by Alpha Durango. I now belong to Alpha Jasper of the Crystal Moon pack and your father can't tell me what and what not to do, so be careful with the way you misbehave."I warmed her with total seriousness in my tone, but then she dropped the teddy bear and walked closer to me.
"Will he stay for the night?
Even though he stays, will he sleep in the same room with you? If you mess with me, I will report you to my father, and he will whip you like he has always done, and your Alpha Jasper won't make a single sound." Rose said to me with a smile on her face.
As a child I was shoved to a corner, I was treated in a way that made me understand one bitter truth,
I was never accepted by my adopted father.
His mistreatment towards me started when I was at a very young age. Before then, I took him like my biological father. I loved him and cherished him, but then when my mom became pregnant with his first child he shoved me into the waste bin.
And even as a child, I realized that regardless of what happens, there is no place on earth like your own home. I thought to myself to never trust any soul on earth ever again because Alpha Durango crushed my trust for him.
I will never trust Alpha Jasper after all,the first time I saw him he showed me how horrible he can be, for that, I don't have any reason on earth to trust him. The door chimed open, and I turned my gaze at the direction of the door. I saw my mom as she walked into my room. Rose stood up and left immediately.
"Greetings, mom, how have you been?"
I asked my mom, who sank her buttocks on my bed .I stood up and locked the door to avoid one of her kids from barging into my room again.
"Charlotte, I apologize for everything, I apologize for letting you suffer and can't even speak up for my dear daughter. Please find it in your heart to forgive me."She pleads with me as tears roll down her cheeks, with bitterness and agony in her voice.
"Mom, don't cry. It isn't your fault, you didn't plan for any of this to happen, did you?
So please, don't cry."I said to her while wiping off the tears on her cheeks.
My mom told me how someone raped and impregnated her when she was still fifteen. She decided to keep the pregnancy since her mom knows how she got it and was ready to help her raise the child. I'm not sure if she knows my rapist father or not but I haven't cared to ask either because I know that it's a sad memory for her.
I'm always thankful to her for giving me life, at least. I know she didn't mean to give me this heartless man as a dad, she had always wanted the best for me.
Furthermore, I never, for once, blame my mom for having a disdainful man as her husband and mate because I can recall how lovely he was to me for the first few months of our arrival in his pack. But then in a blink he changed to a beast whenever he was around me, it wasn't my mom's fault, I am sure of that.
"" My dear daughter, I know that you will do anything for me, but please don't always give in to what he says just so he won't take me to the dungeon. I'm used to this already, stop putting your happiness on the line for mine, please""She pleaded with me while sobbing profusely as though someone invisible gave her a resounding slap on her both cheeks as her tears were too much for me to understand the reason behind it.
I will never depend on a man, I will always stand up for myself. A man can never ever trample on my right, no one can ever make me blindly bid to what they say. That's what I have always promised myself, never will I be like my mom.
Never.
My mom has always been my reason for obeying my dad most of the time, which I did as I didn't want her to be whipped by that beast she married, even though he's her mate he sometimes maltreats her on pointless bases. He uses her to threaten me, like they all know that she is my weakness.
"Mom, please don't cry. I will be fine, don't worry, remember that you gave birth to a fighter, I will overcome every problem that comes my way and this is just the smallest of them all, I will be fine."I said to her with a broad smile on my face.
